Well that choice is entirely up to you . If your a first time grower I might suggest that try doing them in a soiless mix first , the reason I say this is because hydroponics arent as forgiving and that if you make a mistake you will be able to correct without any major damages . As were in a hydroponic system if mistakes are made it can be really bad and not only that but instead of affecting 1 plant it will affect all the plants your growing at that time . There are various systems you can get for hydroponics my suggestion to you if your determined to go that route is to either get DWC or an actual hydroponics table . If you chose the table you will want to consider having enough space because they are kinda bulky . Another thing I will suggest is that you go and get yourself a PH meter this way you can adjust the PH of your water accordingly when the time comes . In soiless mix you want it to be around 6.3 6.5 and in a hydroponics set up you would want it at around 5.7 5.8. The reason i say this is because the PH plays a big part of how your plant uptakes nutrients , cannabis plants like a slightly more acid medium in order to prosper and flourish . I hope this information serves you well on your cannabis journey ! -Happy Growing!

hey man look for large independent pots something like 10 L, with top feeding pump and large airstone, many systems come with integrated waste water systems. At least that's what I'm planning on doing two of those in a 2x4 or six in a 4x4. thinking of biotabs for feed, seems so easy just add a pellet of those + CO2 ... hope this helps 🚀
